Does anyone have different size wheels on their FD? Like 17" front and 18" rear?

 

Anyone?

 

Why would you want to !?
I can uderstand different widths... 235 in front 265 in rear... but differnt radius !? Why ?

I can't seem to find the correct widths for the 17" rear wheels I want, Only 18". Besides, most other sports cars are set up that way... corvettes, NSX, Viper, just to name a few.

 

There was a discussion about this a while ago. Personally, I think those other cars are setup that way as part of the styling. The FD was designed with the same diameter wheels front and back, but it might still look decent with 17F and 18R. 17" on both ends of a C5 looks a little funny (back wheels too small).

Performance-wise, I don't see any major problem with running different sizes, so long as the tires are a good size for the end of the car they are on. Lots of people (including me: 245/40F & 265/40R) run larger diameter tires in the rear, even when the wheels are the same size.
